This beautiful edition of Mother Earth and Fairy Folk by Alice Massie; Illustrated by Mary Massie was published by the Religious Tract Society. The book itself isn't dated but after some research, I'd estimate it to be from the early 20th century (circa 1920).
The book is bound in blue cloth with a pasted on colour illustration to the front. It's in very good condition but does show wear to the corners and extremities. There are some minor marks to the cloth and the spine is sunned.
Inside, the pages are clean and bright with occasional foxing. There are two colour plates and numerous black and white illustrations.
Dimensions approximately 19cm x 13.2cm x 2.3cm.
The book will arrive hand wrapped in patterned wallpaper and string.
I use a range of eco friendly, 100% recyclable jiffy bags and boxes, and whenever possible I use brown paper tape. The green bubble wrap is oxo-degradable and the clear bubble wrap is 100% recyclable. I also reuse boxes when I feel it's appropriate (if the boxes are sturdy enough).
